Park Ji Hoon, Kim Yoo Jung and Yim Siwan are nominated at the 2026 Director's Cut Awards.

K-drama fans haven’t even recovered from the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards fever that the South Korean entertainment industry is already prepping for the next starry schedule listed in this year’s awards season. Two days after the only leading Korean ceremony that honours excellence in film, TV and theatre on the same night was held at COEX in Gangnam-gu, the 24th Director’s Cut Awards nominations have graced the centre stage.

The full nominees list released on May 11 deals out a pleasant surprise for the multi-talented singer-actor Park Ji Hoon’s supporters, as their favourite artist is nominated across multiple categories following major success at the Baeksang Arts Awards a few days ago. The Weak Hero Class star, who took home the Best New Actor (Movie) and Naver Popularity Award at Friday’s event, had now landed nods in both the Best Actor (Drama) and Best New Actor (Film) categories at the 2026 Director’s Cut Awards.
